[Oberon] Have MenuInputTablets confirmed ETHO's TUI?

[Jörg]

Hi

All key actions are implemented in TextFrames.Write.

This is one of the first procedures I updated in ProjectOberon :)

Apart from Input of course, where I had to adapt the key mapping for my
keyboard.

Hi Srinivas,
in ETHO windows plugin is a bit more functionality in this area:

*	"delete" deletes only one character (right of cursor) and not a
selection of text, but then you have the interclicks.
*	"backspace" deletes one character left of cursor
*	cursor up,down and left,right
*	cut and paste from clipboard to oberon and oberon to clipboard
(select text with right mouse-key) . 
control-c, control-x, control-v work as expected.
*	the mouse wheel works also

Let us ask the experts, whether this functionality can be easily transferred
to OLR.

Regards,
Dieter

I see in Oberon, backspace key works, but not delete key. 
Right, Left arrow keys work, but not Up, Down arrow keys. 
Home, End, PageUp, PageDown doesn't work. 
Is this intentionally done to reduce keyboard use? 


With thanks and best regards, 

Yours sincerely,

I see the public inputting to their tablets via: 
  1. see the menu; 
  2. select from what is seen. 

This is how ETHO works; but never became popular. 

Will these new users, in future, dislike the idea of using a computer 
by looking up-and-down [like a chicken] to see the display and the 
keybrd alternatively? 

A stenographer or 'typist' who doesn't need to access all the extra 
keys, which computing has introduced, since the original optimum 
keybrd-design, can operate like a skilled pianist and never need 
to look down at the keybrd. 

But with the menu/ETHO method, you can select in one-operation, what 
keying would need 50 operations for. 

So how will it evolve in our fast moving future?
